Fucking idiot. With his recent comments about 'Bush knew' and this, he's in full-on tinfoil hat / truther mode.
And some want to elect this asshat to the Oval? Get a grip.
I have to say it is one of my favourite conspiracy theories. Let's wait until we are over 7 years into Obama's term so there is guaranteed to be a messy appointment process. Then, rather than murdering him at some convenient location like, say DC, wait until he's out in west bumfuck Texas surrounded by nothing but tumbleweeds and his closest cronies...
The significance of this development can’t be understated.
I agree that the significance of most of Trump's statements to the media is essentially meaningless (or, as Boyle puts, it, "cannot be understated"), so why is Boyle even talking about it if it is so trivial?
Perhaps Boyle meant to say, "cannot be overstated?"
Pro tip: If a political pundit is discussing a political race and is arguing that the importance of something they are writing about "cannot be overstated", you can be confident that this is classic hype, and they have little faith in its actual significance.
HANAHAN, South Carolina — 2016 GOP presidential frontrunner Donald J. Trump tells reporters here that his pledge to support the eventual GOP nominee is now void because the Republican National Committee, along with local and state GOP factions, is stacking debate audiences with donor class officials.
“The RNC is in default,” Trump said at the press conference. “Just so you understand, the RNC is in default. When somebody is in default, that means the other side can do what they have to do. The RNC is in default.”
Trump’s point is that the RNC has defaulted—through its actions against his candidacy—on the pledge he signed earlier in the cycle, and his point is that because they have defaulted he can do whatever he wants. Trump is signaling he may not support the eventual GOP nominee in 2016 if that nominee is not him.
The significance of this development can’t be understated. The entire GOP presidential primary election has focused on this question, which was launched to the center of discussion by the first question at the first GOP debate in Cleveland, Ohio, back in August, 2015. That question, by Fox News’s Bret Baier, asked all the candidates on stage to raise their hands if they would support the eventual GOP nominee. Trump was the only one who didn’t raise his hand. That, and several other unseemly questions from Fox’s Megyn Kelly about Trump and women, catapulted into public view a then-private war between Trump and Fox that has lasted publicly to this day.
When Trump fans' understanding of how the laws of physics work is revealed to be this cartoonish, it is no surprise that they look to cartoonists like the creator of Dilbert for "great analysis" (i.e. reinforcement of their misguided ideas).
Hammerspace is undoubtedly where Trump supporters envision Donald would be able to pull his promised "Yooge wall" from (or else from his rectum).
